American Dreams
There is a common response to America among foreign writers: the U. S. is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche(陈词滥调).
In the land of black and white,people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone. _____________ (46) No class system or government stands in the
way.

The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened. ______ (47)
Over the past 25 years the median U. S. family income has gone up 18 per cent. For the top 1 per cent,however, it has gone up 200 per cent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth. ______ (48)
Inequalities have grown worse in different regions. In California,incomes for lower class families have fallen by 4 per cent since 1969. ________ (49) This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans. The wealthiest 1 per cent of households now control a third of the national wealth. There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12. 7 per cent of the population, it is the highest percentage in the developed world.
Yet the tax burden on America’s rich is falling,not growing. _____ (50) There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole. But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.
